It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Juan Clemente Rodriguez, affectionately known as Juanito, on June 26, 2024. Juanito, born on February 24, 1976, in Wichita, KS, was a beloved husband, brother, uncle, and friend who touched the lives of all who knew him.
Juan met and married the love of his life Nancy Aguero on August 29, 1997.
A man of resilience and kindness, Juanito worked at Moundridge Manufacturing Inc until his illness forced him to leave.
